P.S: I am really a newbie but not a noob at all, ok now lewt's get into your problem, zellycream is made for hdpi device with a pixel density higher than 220ppi and with larger display resolution ( like xperia ray, xperia neo v, arc s, arc etc...), so it is impossible to fit you well on mdpi device like lww, however i suggest you to use xperia ray's one, it is not guaranteed that it will fit you well but may be a bit better, I need some infos however: how did you installed it, are you rooted with locked bootloader or with an unlocked one?? and is it smooth really?? and is it working well on lww with no bugs??

I just installed this ROM, but the battery stuck on 100%, how to resolve this problem??please, help me
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MeltdownSpectre:
My dad's Xperia U used to last around 4-5 days with a bit of Wi-Fi, 40% brightness and a call a day. Battery would go down to 15-20%.

Now as you unplug the charger it goes from 100% to 96% instantly. After using it for half a second the battery went down to 93%. Wi-Fi is off, brightness is set to 30% and Auto-Sync is OFF. What do I do? It's not rooted and it's running Stock Gingerbread 2.3.7

Quick replies will be appreciated.

After you find this drop in battery did you restarted your fone????

I charged it to 100% while the phone was on, plus about 20-30 minutes more. I unplugged it and the battery went down to 96% instantly. Whereas it used to stay on 100% for about a day. I've restarted the phone recently but no difference. I'll try charging it when its off.

Question

Hi to all

My xperia u does something quite weird. I can't get my battery to last more than one day. I tried different roms, kernels with governors and my battery seems to drain and the main consumer is my screen _ about 65 % while any other process doesn't pass over 15%. Has anybody conflicted with this problem?

How do I get it fixed? Do I need to buy another battery?

PS: I don't have warranty hence the unlocked bootloader :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MeltdownSpectre:
Decrease your brightness and turn of Mobile Bravia Engine if you don't need it. I have three Xperia U's in my house and two of them used to have the problem. Turned the brightness down to 30% and it resolved it. Also I charge it to 100% and kill it down to complete 0% by heavy usage. Try this. Works with laptops and phones.

3G data is not connecting... So far I am stumped on how to enable it.

Operator SIM card automatically sets up the APN, but it still does not work.

Setting another APN by hand with the operator settings does not help either.

Is there some hidden setting or debug which I can enable?

I also ordered the ThL W8 from www.thlmobilestore.com on March 2nd because it is listed as in stock since then. I was a bit curious after a few days of not having received a shipment confirmation and logged in to the webstore to check my order status. It was found that the shop has no order on record for me. :confused:

I sent them a mail to explain what was going on and received a mail that they would ship the phone in one to twoo weeks. For listed as in stock phones? Yes right. Sounds like a scam to me.

I have asked to cancel my order and to refund my money because I do not want to wait another two week for a sipping confirmation. unfortunatel, they did not refund and did not even bother to reply to my request. Therefore, I have opened a dispute for the transaction using paypal buyer protection. I know there is still a high risk of losing my money, because scammers usually accuse the buyer of being a thief and then immediately close the dispute, yet I do not see another alternative at the moment to get my money back.

A warning to all of you, do not order anything from www.thlmobilestore.com. These people cannot be trusted.

There is another store selling these phones, it is called ThL Mobile Store, I should have ordered from them, by assuming I ordered from the factory store, I fell for www.themobilestore.com instead.

The Phone is great from the specs, I may lose my money now and do not get the phone, yet it is still a great phone. Just make sure you order it from a reliable source.

I'm hoping you're wrong. My order appears to be progressing on Singapore Post tracking. Orders from the far east can often take a few weeks so patience is a virtue.

Hi all,

Phone successfully rooted with information provided earlier in this thread, many thanks to those who posted. I did a factory reset (on advice from thlmobilestore) so started from a clean setup, rooted then fixed the contacts sync.

Now everything works pretty much like a dream - it performs as well as my Acer A110 tegra 3 tab!

It would be nice to fix the gallery sync with picassa, but thats just a nice-to-have not a must-do.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C3C076:
Well, maybe it is. But no owner of 16gb w8 has tried it yet, nor didn't let me know if it worked or not.

I tried the official 4.2.x update on an 8GB model by mistake and ended up bricking it, so that doesn't work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C3C076:
It definitely works. But you must not flash the preloader, MBR, ebr, etc. Flashing those on a device with different memory size will get it bricked.

Only lk.bin (uboot), bootimg, system (android), cache, userdata should be flashed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masmddr:
That is great news, thank you.

Just to make sure, we are talking about this:

http://en.thl.com.cn/Download/detail_104.html

Dated 08/05/2013

Flash (download button):

bootimg (boot.img), cache (cache.img), userdata (userdata.img), android (system.img), uboot (lk.bin)

Do not flash:

preloader, MBR, EBR1, EBR2

What about secro.img and logo.bin ?

Do I also have to flash the included recovery? I have a rooted recovery with CWM.

And last but not least, does this automatically wipes user data? I'm guessing yes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C3C076:
Any ROM for W8 4/8/16 GB will work.

Flash these only (you must use Download button to flash, DON'T USE FIRWARE UPGRADE!!!)

- uboot (lk.bin),

- bootimg (boot.img),

- android (system.img),

- usrdata (userdata.img)

- cache (cache.img)

Note, that your custom recovery will be broken after flash since it won't be compatible with uboot/boot you flash.

So you must have recovery.img that is compatible with rom you are going to flash.

There's no problem to make a compatible reovery. I just need original recovery.img and build number, both for ROM you are flashing.

usrdata and cache are flashed just for convenience - these are basicaly empty and their role is to "format" data and cache to make sure nothing's left from the previous system.

The ROM here: http://en.thl.com.cn/Download/detail_104.html

Is the chinese ROM that looks like Lewa OS.

It has only Chinese language and English. No google apps and a lot of Chinese bloatware.

To date, there's no official international version of 4.2 ROM for W8 available for download from THL site.

Although new devices are sold with it, it is not available as a downloadable upgrade.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masmddr:
Great, thank you.

So basically flash (with the download button)

- uboot (lk.bin),

- bootimg (boot.img)

- android (system.img)

- usrdata (userdata.img) (a fresh start is always a good thing)

- cache (cache.img)

- recovery (recovery.img)

How do I go about rooting it? give you the recovery.img included and the build number of the new rom ? (Settings > about phone > build number ?)

Sorry for triple checking everything, after a night shift and can't afford losing sleep because I have to unbrick the phone again :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C3C076:
If you flash also recovery.img you will end up with stock recovery.

So to get working CWM with your new rom you have to:

1) take a look at this post first: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2237779

to find out if there already is cwm available for build number you are going to flash. If yes, just download it

and use it instead of stock recovery.img

2) If there's no recovery available for build number, just send me the stock recovery.img (and build number info) so I can

make a compatible recovery for that build and put it on my CWM thread for download.

Root is easy if you have custom recovery up and running.

Just download and flash this root ZIP in CWM: http://tinyw.in/R1ML

Again, in case you haven't noticed the info about the rom you mentioned:

The ROM here: http://en.thl.com.cn/Download/detail_104.html

Is the chinese ROM that looks like Lewa OS.

It has only Chinese language and English. No google apps and a lot of Chinese bloatware.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masmddr:

File name (and probably the build number) is

The recovery file is attached.

I appreciate your help, thank you.

OK. I will take care of it as soon as I finish the CWM for the latest W8 16GB
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masmddr:
